Olympic View, formerly known as Falcon Ridge, is an assisted-living facility located in Seatac, Washington. This facility provides a supportive environment for residents who require assistance with daily living activities while maintaining a degree of independence. The transition from Falcon Ridge to Olympic View reflects a change in branding but the primary care focus remains the same, offering services designed to assist those who need help managing their routine activities.
Olympic View offers a range of care services designed to support the diverse needs of its residents. For individuals with diabetes, the facility provides care aimed at monitoring and managing blood sugar levels; however, there are concerns regarding the adequacy of this care due to reported staffing issues. Non-ambulatory care is available to assist residents who have mobility challenges or need substantial assistance with movement. Incontinence care is also offered, ensuring hygiene and comfort for residents who require such support. The facility employs a staff that includes licensed nurses and caregivers trained to provide these services, but reports suggest significant understaffing and communication barriers, limiting their effectiveness. Additionally, ancillary services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies are provided, though reviews point to high turnover and dissatisfaction among staff, which may affect service delivery.
Transportation services at Olympic View include complimentary transportation for both medical and non-medical purposes. This service is intended to help residents attend medical appointments, as well as enable them to participate in community outings and social events. The transportation options aim to enhance the residents' quality of life by facilitating access to essential services and leisure activities outside the facility. However, the surrounding neighborhood's safety concerns may impact the residents' ability to fully utilize these transportation services.
Despite the range of services offered, resident and family reviews express significant concerns about safety, staffing levels, and the facility's overall condition. The neighborhood's safety poses a risk to residents, and incidents of violence affecting the facility have been reported. Reviews highlight issues such as inadequate training, particularly in emergency situations, and note that some staff members face language barriers, which can impede effective communication. Additionally, the facility reportedly suffers from neglect in maintenance, contributing to poor living conditions. These factors underline critical areas that need addressing to ensure the safety and well-being of residents at Olympic View.
